Precise and robust predictions of autogenous shrinkage of high performance concrete are essential to limit self-induced stresses and cracking in modern concrete structures. This paper presents predictions of autogenous shrinkage for three cement pastes of ...
Bond behavior and anchorage resistance of prestressed CFRP plates to steel substrate have been investigated in the current study. To do so, a set of single lap-shear and prestress release tests was performed on CFRP-to-steel bonded joints, and the feasibil ...
Reinforced concrete flat slabs constitute one of the most common and efficient modern construction methods. The design of such structural system might be governed by a brittle failure in the vicinity of the slab-column connection associated to punching she ...
The unloading of reinforced concrete slabs results in residual slab rotations and reloading to the same load results in irreversible rotation increases. Unloading and reloading (UR) cycles applied to non-strengthened and strengthened flat slabs may thus af ...
Deformation-dependent punching shear resistance often constitutes the decisive design criterion for reinforced concrete slabs supported by columns. The increasing number of aging structures exhibiting insufficient punching resistance and detailing deficien ...
A large number of design approaches for structural concrete rely on the applicability of limit analysis. This is for instance the case of bending and shear design in members with transverse reinforcement, where it is assumed that plastic compression fields ...
In the current study, the glass transition and tensile behavior of three different cold-curing two-component epoxies, commercially available as structural adhesives for carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strengthening of concrete and steel structures, ...
In the building sector, the contribution of concrete structure to the overall emissions of greenhouse gases is significant. Switzerland is engaged in a 2050 energy strategy where the reduction of the embodied energy of buildings is a key aspect. In this st ...
Due to the enormous volumes produced the production of concrete accounts for around 5-10% of man-made CO2 emissions. Consideration of possible routes to reduce this environmental impact indicates that the use of calcined clays in as supplementary cementiti ...
Application of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites for retrofitting reinforced concrete structures has been extensively investigated and used in practice. Many studies demonstrated the beneficial influence of such composite materials for the ...
